Answer:
The fourth answer choice is the correct one: 2(x - 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x²-18x+36/x-6 should be factored, as follows:
2(x²-9x+18) / (x-6) = 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6)
Substituting x = 6 would result in division by zero and is thus not allowed.
Remembering this, we can reduce 2(x - 3) (x - 6) / (x - 6) to 2(x - 3) for x≠6.
